Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the original coordinate as C (-6, 9) and new coordinates after dilation as C' (-2, 3), we can see that the value of the new coordinates has reduces by a factor. Let the factor be k
For the x coordinates:
C' = kC
x' = kx
-2 = k(-6)
-2 = -6k
Divide both sides by -6
k = -2/-6
k = 1/3
For the y-coordinates:
y' = ky
3 = 9k
Divide both sides by 9:
3/9 = 9k/9
1/3 = k
k = 1/3
Hence the scale factor of the dilation is 1/3
You’re answer would be 0=0
